Easy And Delicious Egg Recipe
Frittata is a brilliant way to use up surplus eggs for a nourishing, quick and easy meal. It is so much more than an omelette!
This frittata recipe is made with one of my favourite ingredients – roasted peppers – with accompanying onion, courgette and olives. Add plenty of herbs and you have a lovely meal made in heaven. A good sprinkle of cheese on the top tops it off wonderfully!
Frittata is just the best sort of meal being quick and easy to make and totally delicious!
Easy supper Recipe
This is a good recipe when you haven’t a lot of energy to cook. Just slice up the peppers, onions and courgette and pop them in the oven to roast for 20 minutes. Beat up the eggs and cream, and grate the cheese as soon as they are in the oven and then you can sit down for 15 minutes before it is all ready to come together!
Do season the egg well with mixed herbs or herb of our choice and plenty of salt and pepper. Good seasoning is the key to this meal.
Frittata or Omelette?
An omelette is an even quicker meal to prepare and of course you only cook one at time. The frittata is much thicker and in this case is a meal for four. It cooks slowly – you need to go gently so as not to burn the bottom. The cooking is then finished by grilling the top under a hot grill (although don’t let the top of the pan get too close – you will need it to be 10-15cm away from the grill). the cheese on the top melts and you ensure the egg is cooked all the way through.
Plenty of Colour
In an ideal world use two different coloured peppers. If you use red and yellow, you will have those colours plus the green of the courgette and the black of the olives
Frying pan
You will need a large skillet frying pan that can take the heat of the grill
